Australian media picks up on dirty diesel
It was June last year that the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified diesel engine exhaust as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1) based on sufficient evidence that exposure is associated with an increased risk for lung cancer.- The re-classification has large implications for anybody exposed to diesel exhaust – which is most of us, most of the time seeing as we all live in cities where trucks and diesel cars roam free.
This (Australian) Radio National article considers the implications for residents near a busy road and the Australian mining industry.
